Distributive Property Calculator: Expand Algebraic Expressions

Distributive Property Expansion Tool

Master algebra with our Distributive Property Calculator. This free online tool simplifies algebraic expressions by applying the distributive property. Input your terms like `a(b + c)` and get the expanded result `ab + ac` instantly. Ideal for students learning to expand polynomials or anyone needing to quickly verify their work. Understand this core mathematical concept with ease.

Formula:

The Distributive Property states that for any numbers or variables a, b, and c:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
or
a(b - c) = ab - ac

Where:

  • a = The factor outside the parenthesis.
  • b = The first term inside the parenthesis.
  • c = The second term inside the parenthesis.
  • ab = The product of a and b.
  • ac = The product of a and c.
